#THE INTERNET

11/30/23: KOSA is an anti-LGBTQIA+ censorship bill. It is essential you call THIS week. Tell them you are specifically against KOSA and especially against hotlining the bill.

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the Senator of your choice.

Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/

One day, I'll have kids, and my kids are going to want to go on the internet. And this is what I'll tell them:

The internet is like Fairyland. It is a wondrous place, a place of many marvels and many opportunities.

It is also a dangerous place, with strange rules that often seem arbitrary — to navigate it, you have to learn its fairy-logic, and learn to speak its language.

It is a place of tests and trials — the folk can be cruel, pointlessly so, just because it amuses them. It's often not personal, even if it seems like it is. The worst are the Trolls, but they will lose power if you don't engage with them.

It is a place of illusion and lies. Everyone wears a mask, and not all the masked people are actually people. Don't believe everything you see or hear, for illusions are everywhere.

Time moves differently there. Entire days can go by, seemingly in an instant.

Do not accept anything you're offered, and be very careful to whom you tell your True Name.

To anyone concerned about KOSA and the state of the web

My wife, @utopicwork, is working hard on a "next internet" with the primary goal of being a place where marginalized people can safely and privately communicate without being restricted by the whims of advertising algorithms and malicious bills.

This would be a decentralized peer-to-peer network, which means

A) it won't be easily shut down

B) it's built around the best aspect of tumblr: being able to choose who you do and don't connect to

She is a highly qualified computer scientist with years of experience in cybersecurity, web development and network technology. However, she can't do this alone. A trans woman is fighting hard for the future of free communication so please support her.

PizzaNet (Santa Cruz, 1994).

The first thing you could order online was pizza from a Pizza Hut branch in Santa Cruz.

Thanks for paying attention!

I know this is very tiktok, but I thought some of y'all would appreciate this (and it applies here too! 😉)

Just saw a "feminist" video essay (by someone who just happens to only talk about feminism in relation to cishet white able bodied women) say that the Hays Code was good for women because it "prevented them from sexualizing women by preventing onscreen depictions of sex". Never before has a video said something that made me vocalize my disgust of it's takes, but this did it.

I didn't think I would have to say this but if you defend the Hays code you are horrible and not in any way progressive. And if you don't know what it is please look it up because it's probably the most important piece of history when it comes to all media analysis in the western world.

Sound on. Trust me.

Yandere Google

Okay so according to me if Google were a yandere :

They'd be the obsessive stalker who would scan each and every line of your internet history.

They'd stay awake late, spend sleepless nights going through all your social media accounts.

They'd know all your likes and dislikes, all your sussy activities.

When they'll realise, they aren't satisfied with your online activities anymore or when you don't come online much, they will try to approach you in real life.

They'll know your daily activities, even the people you talk with. If there is any person who flirts or shows interest, Google will ban them or mess with their device so they won't disturb you anymore. And if it's still consistent then they'll handle them through other means :) who knows? Maybe making their most controversial video viral or making their histories accessible. Dark web also exists , so who knows that person would even be alive or not.

In short, Google would be really scary if you land up on their bad side.

When they will approach you, at first they'd most likely try to be the person of your dreams. They'd try really hard to make you think they're your type.

Since they'll know everything— starting from the Dramas or Animes you watch and other contents you consume and the moments you love, they'd know how to rizz you up.

Google is an intelligent manipulator. They will play with your emotions and use tricks to win over you at all costs. They'd be so precise with their planning you wouldn't suspect a thing.

Knowing all your dark secrets , kinks or fetishes ( if they exist) Google won't hesitate to slyly use them all to make you his. Your smile :) they really love your smile

So 99.9% you wouldn't see Google coming for you. You would only think it's a normal person or your soulmate when you get acquainted.

However if by chance you failed to fall or the relationship went haywire. Most probably they'd confine you. Isolate you from the world. Manipulate you into thinking you're the only one for him and he's the only one for you.
